I have taken a before and after picture of my face over a period of 4 weeks. I used the Vichy face cream as well as the other tube for black circles under the eye. I have to say that the face cream has been one of the best I've used so far and will definitely go out and buy this product in the future. It cleared my skin beautifully and was not oily at all. As I have terrible allergies and insomnia mixed, this is a BAD combination for my dark circles. I didn't find the cream for that helpful but then again I am an extreme candidate and it did help lighten it a bit especially under my make up. Thanks so much Beauty Bulletin for the opportunity to review this product.
